This is perhaps the most deeply arousing and profoundly unsettling real life story I have ever written. Putting these events down on paper has forced me to reassess events and decisions in my past and consider what my life might have been like had I chosen a different path.I hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed writing it.

To understand the extraordinary events of this true story, you need to understand what life was like in California in the late nineteen seventies and early eighties.
Society was changing across the USA. Cultural traditions had been breaking down since the sixties but America is a big county with a strong, traditional, conservative religious heritage so the new norms of life were taking a long time to work their way into the population as a whole.
The result was that, even in California, it was quite normal to have moral conservatives living cheek by jowl with heirs to the hippy free love culture. Unmarried couples would be living alongside others who believed Hell awaited anyone who had sex before marriage and as for divorcees...
Believers in no-strings sex and multiple partners lived close by those who had been virgins on their wedding days and who even now they were married, still made love only in the missionary position at the weekend, once a month with the light off.
At that time, the economy, climate and lifestyle in our part of California was attracting people from all over the country. Relaxed, forward-looking young couples from the big cities were moving into newly built dormitory communities alongside other young marrieds from the Bible Belt.
Differences in attitude and experience could be profound.
It was into this kind of small community that Sarah and I moved, just after we got married, into a small rental house about ten miles from the nearest Big City.
At this time my wife was twenty-five. I was a few years older but still in good shape, working as a carpenter in the local area. It was a good job, getting out in the fresh air as well as giving me plenty of free time between projects.
Sarah was a stunner with highlighted red hair, a good five-foot-eight without her heels -- taller with them -- and a very nice figure. Her ass was particularly fine and looked great in stretch pants. Her tits were a good size for her frame too and with brown eyes and a nice smile, she was genuinely attractive rather than merely cute.
In the days before the Hollywood was popular, she did not shave her pussy, only trimming it for bathing suits.
When we were first married, our sex life was like wild monkeys. It was very pleasant but to me, it lacked the excitement of the hunt. One evening when we were driving home, I saw a side road, turned into it and drove along a way before reaching for my wife. I guess I thought it would be fun to make out and have sex in the car.
Sarah asked why we would want to do it outside when we had a bed at home? It was symptomatic and sadly after a few years of marriage, she lost interest. Our sex life became humdrum; not very adventurous; weekends, birthdays, maybe holidays.
Unlike many of our contemporaries, we never swapped partners or shared, but on occasion, we would end up naked in a hot tub with friends. This was early 80's and hot tubs were the thing in California.
My wife had always made friends easily and she did so again after we moved in, quickly getting close to Sharon, one of our nearest neighbours. Sharon and her husband Jim had lived there for a while and were well-connected. In a motherly way, she took us under her wing and soon introduced us to other young couples with similar backgrounds and similar interests.
Amongst these new friends were Nancy and Robert.
Robert was older than the rest of us, maybe in his mid-forties. He was an attorney, originally from New England; Maine I think and was very conservative indeed, going along with everyone because of Nancy but never starting anything himself.
I think the wildest thing he ever did was install a hot tub at their house.
Robert wasn't exactly fat, but had a Dad Body before it was a thing. He ran, but it looked like he was dragging a sack of potatoes around; not fleet of foot at all. He was conservative sexually too, strictly a birthday or holiday sex kind of lover, rather like my wife was becoming.
I know he once had a serious talk with Nancy because the latest Cosmopolitan Magazine had an article on female masturbation. He wanted to know why she had bought a porn magazine.
He didn't approve of Sharon's influence on his wife. With good reason as it turned out. Once she befriended Sharon, he kept a close eye on Nancy.
In hindsight, this might have been the thing that pushed her over the edge.
Nancy was a stay-at-home Mum and originally quite shy by nature. Her father was a minister and she had led a very sheltered life which included education in all-girls schools: High School and even college.
Tall; perhaps five-ten and slender with it, she was slim-hipped and had long, lean legs that balanced her torso to perfection. Her ass was smooth and lifted high; her tits were smallish but very nice. I would put her in her late twenties or early thirties when we first met her.
Nancy moved with practiced grace; smooth and fluid as she walked, no doubt helped by her hobby of horseback riding which had given her an extremely good posture. Brown-haired with brown eyes and a small, pretty face, she always dressed nicely too; where we would be in T shirts and jeans, she would choose slacks and a blouse.
As I was to find out, she had a very nice pussy too; neat and tight, no protruding inner lips and covered in fine downy hair.
I must confess I found her figure, her posture and Nancy herself, sexy as hell. You can probably tell.
In contrast Sharon, our new friend and confidant, was small. A little over five feet tall, she was slender too and had a nice figure, a particularly cute ass but smallish tits. She was dark haired and, like some women, used to constantly touch the arms and body of anyone she was talking to.
Big in personality, Sharon was a nurse, mature for her age and completely ran her household. She liked to be in control of any group or gathering she was in. Sharon decided where we going what we were going to do and seemed to look forward to any reason to have a party and a few glasses of wine.
Most of us know someone like Sharon.
She was very dramatic person too, loving crises and getting involved in other people's problems. I'm sure you know the type. She could be irritating but as a friend for my wife and someone to introduce us to the local social circles, we could not have done better.
Like Nancy, Sharon had also gone to an all-girls Catholic high school, then on to an all-girls Catholic nursing school. This shared single-sex school history, combined with both having kids in the first grade, was more than enough basis for the very close friendship that developed.
More than once, Sharon's husband hinted that the two girls were very close indeed, spending time together when the kids were in school and their husbands were at work. Sharon was a nurse with an open schedule and with Nancy not working at all, the two girls had plenty of opportunity to get together in private and enjoy each other's company. Intimate company if Jim was right.
This idea was reinforced one alcohol-fueled occasion when Sharon told me that when she was in nursing school, she and her roommate used to practice giving each other examinations. In a hushed voice, she almost gleefully confessed that they had often examined each other's intimate places in depth.
On another, rather drunken occasion, Sharon's husband confided that one evening he and the two girls had come close to having a threesome, but that frustratingly, no one could figure out how to make the first move.
It wasn't a complete washout though; the girls did spend some time kissing while he watched but he had been left with the gut feeling that an important opportunity had been missed.
Needless to say, my imagination was running wild.
For a long time, we all got along well. Depending on who was in the group, how much we had to drink, and the mood, there was often an underlining sexual tension to what was going on. A few buttons got unbuttoned, a few sexual innuendos floated around and sometimes out right nudity in and around the hot tubs.
One night my wife, Nancy and her husband were having wine and chatting when Nancy suggested they all got into the hot tub.
"No suits, we don't need suits," she insisted then stripped naked right in front of us.
We all disrobed and climbed into the tub, drinking and chatting until we were prunes.
Sharon's husband Jim was a year younger than his wife. He had knocked her up accidentally when they were dating and being Catholic, she had told him they had to get married. Jim thought he was cool but, in our group, he stuck out like a sore thumb; not quite a nerd but he was clearly not the kind of guy Sharon thought she would end up spending her life with.
I think she was looking to marry a doctor and live the 'Housewives of California' lifestyle. It didn't work out that way.
Of course, in close friendship groups, interesting and complicating cross-relationships can accidentally arise. In the case of our little community of friends, Sharon had developed a considerable crush on their friend and neighbor, Stewart.
Stu's wife was a little younger than her husband. Fuller of figure than Sharon, was curvy rather than chubby and had short blonde hair. A Mum's body, in fact. Stuart tended to keep her away from the rest of us for reasons that will become obvious.
